By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is bright and slightly bitter — orange and bergamot snapping against each other before either has time to turn sweet. A few minutes in, orris cools the citrus down and jasmine arrives with osmanthus's apricot-tea inflection, keeping the floral side firm rather than syrupy.
What distinguishes the dry-down is the way ambroxan and tonka thread together — a salty, slightly nutty warmth that polishes patchouli's earthiness and cedar's pencil-shaving edge. The end result reads as a refined oriental, not a gourmand.
Projection is steady but never loud, and the perfume hangs close to fabric for most of a workday. Cooler weather flatters it; in heat the ambroxan can read screechy.
